	<h3 class="dtH3">Overview</h3>
	<p>The XML Documenter is the simplest of the NDoc Documenters. It is primarily 
	a development tool.&nbsp; </p>
	<p>As part of the documentation compile process, NDoc merges the type information 
	in the assemblies being documented with the code comment summary XML document 
	that the
	<a href="ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cscomp/html/vcerrDocProcessDocumentationComments.htm">
	/doc compiler option</a> emits. The XML Documenter allows you to save this merged 
	set of data for curiosity&#39;s sake or debugging purposes. </p>
	<p>Used in conjunction with the <b>UseNDocXmlFile</b> setting, this is especially 
	useful when you are working on your own documenters.</p>
	<h3 class="dtH3">Settings</h3>
	<p>All documenters share <a href="documenters.htm">a common set of documenter settings</a>.</p>
